Isn't that a question to be asked about a whole lot of such
clocksource drivers and ARM platforms?
Most DT-only ARM platforms rely on
arch/arm/kernel/time.c to call clocksource_of_init() if the
machine_desc->init_time() hook is not set and has zero
code to handle any such situation.
So I guess what you're asking is whether we should patch
clocksource_of_init() to warn if it cannot find any
matching clock sources, like this:

Subject: [PATCH] clksrc-of: warn if no clock sources are found
Many platforms rely on clocksource_of_init() being implicitly
called for registering clock sources and will get zero warnings
if no working clock source is available. Let's print a critical
error message if no clock source is found.

You can apply this by itself to get the desired warning.
Tell me if you want me to send the patch separately.
Yours,
